The Alpha's Rogue Mateย ย ย Epilogue
Fredrick's POV It wasnโt over. Not by a long shot.In that dungeon, trapped like a common animal I had time to think. And in that time I thought of all the ways I could make them suffer. Make Jackson, the puny brat who barely deserved the title alpha pay, and most of all make Elise suffer ten times over.Iโd planned to play nice, it wouldnโt do if the other packs saw me abuse my luna, but now I had no choice. I still needed her, her visions of the future would help me take control of the world, but I only needed her alive, not comfortable.โAlpha Fredrick, Master Caius requests your presence,โ One of the filthy thralls knocked at my door, daring to order me around.I flashed my canines at the servant, but he was too drained to flinch or show any kind of emotion.I stood without doing more to acknowledge the thrall as I left the private room Caius had designated for me. I think he meant to be insulting. I was an honoured guest yet I got a โspareโ room and was being ordered around by a

Branches tore at my legs stealing blood from my body as they scratched me, begging me to stay, but I had to keep running, stopping and giving up wasnโt an option. A gasp left my throat as I stumbled from exhaustion and the darkness of the night, catching myself on a tree trunk just in time before I spiralled into the wicked bramble bushes. My only guide during this murderous night was the moonlight, blurred and weak from the rain and clouds charging across the sky.I contemplated stopping, to sit beside the strong and sturdy tree and recuperate, to let my lungs fill with that much-needed oxygen and let my legs recharge from the torture theyโd been enduring, or at least give them a chance to stop shaking. Rain roared around me, but it was hard to care, even as the icy droplets chilled me to my bones. I could take two minutes, couldnโt I? Two minutes to breathe, two minutes to rest, two minutes to pretend everything was okay and then I could keep going. Just as I felt myself lowering t

The world toppled over around me and a deafening crack echoed throughout my head, almost distracting me from the sharp pain ripping through my skull. It was hard to breathe, and at first, I thought it was because of the impact, maybe part of it was, but the huge crushing weight of the dark grey wolf didnโt help.โOw,โ a whimper I didnโt mean to make left my throat.The wolf didnโt seem to care, baring its fangs at my neck, so close that if I moved an inch it would slice my neck like scissors to paper. I tried not to flinch, but saliva dripped down its mouth, splattering on my face, and another whimper formed. I couldโve sworn the wolf smirked at my fear. Its paws crushed one of my arms with such strength I was sure it was going to break. Another paw was pressed firmly on my chest, I wasnโt going anywhere. Opening my mouth, I tried to speak, maybe it wouldโve been a threat or a beg, but as I did so, the sour taste of iron coated my tongue from where my teeth had torn my gum and instead

Melanie.So this was how they were able to track me so easily, despite the mud and the rain and the streams. I spotted one of my shirts in her hand and runes splattered in blood across it. A tracking spell. Everything had been against me tonight, the rain, my lack of a wolf, and now a tracking spell. I glared at the witch, promising to make her pay for standing in the way of my freedom.โForgive her, Alpha Jackson, A slight misunderstanding between the girl and our alpha. We would never dare to intrude-โโAnd yet here you are, witch. You have brought an army into my territory, some may say this is an act of war.โMelanie raised her head, a paragon of proprietary and politeness, โI assure you alpha, we are only here to reclaim the girl. It was an oversight that we-โโOversight?โ He cut her off again, eyes blazing with a dark fury, โMy territory, was an oversight?โMelanie bowed her head again, out of fear or respect I wasnโt sure. The forest was still and silent, tension lurking in the

It was dark and I was running again. Running through the forest with its sharp branches and stones and unforgiving cold. Someone was calling my name, over and over, singing it like a song. The further away I got, the louder it became and the singing turned into screaming into screeching. With my lungs heaving and sweat trickling from my forehead, I turned to try to see just what was following me. But that was a mistake. I lost my footing on something, maybe a stone or an exposed root, but I started tumbling. I waited for the blow of the ground, preparing myself for the pain and to get up again, but nothing came. It was like I was thrown into an endless void of darkness. Was I standing up? Was I upside down? Was I awake? Was I dead? The screeching got louder.โElise!โThe voice was familiar, so familiar that it hurt my heart to listen to it, my mother's voice calling for me.โElise come home!โ โMoth-โMy call to her was cut off and my father suddenly appeared before me. His body was

I took a long look at the second man who had appeared as the alphaโs backup, recognising him as the golden wolf from the night before; his golden hair and brown eyes betrayed him so obviously. The Beta. His second in command would ensure I was no threat towards his alpha. Maybe I shouldโve felt flattered he felt the need for assistance.โThank you, Christian,โ Alpha Jackson said, his smirk still prevalent on his face.Turning to me, his expression finally shifted to one that was cold and calculating, โnow to business. Who are you?โAfter a moment of silence, looking between the alpha and his beta, I finally answered, โElise.โโElise what?โโClares.โโAnd you were a part of the New Moon pack, is that correct?โI looked at Christian with that look that asked is he slow? Before answering properly, โduh.โThe alpha looked at me with disdain and I fought back the smile that tugged at my lip, โWhy bother asking? Youโre just going to kill me anyway,โ I retorted to that glare, not particularl

โYes, wolfsbaneโฆโ It was all the answer I was willing to give him. โThey knew you would run.โ A dark chuckle escaped me as I remembered my motherโs body from my hiding place, as I pictured my brotherโs life leaving his body in front of me, โafter what they did? Yes, they knew.โ โSo that would be why her wounds took longer than usual to heal,โ Christian commented, aiding my story with that added detail. Alpha Jackson looked at him and nodded. I shifted uncomfortably, my hand moving to the wounds on my side, only bruises at this point, like I hadnโt run for my life half blind and half frozen. โI think so. Canโt say Iโm in the habit of drugging myself with it.โ Without a wolf, my body was practically human with a few small perks: I was faster than the average human, my senses were heightened and I had a bit of added strength, but healing? My healing was human, and I had to be careful, like a human. โWhat do you think, Christian?โ Alpha Jackson asked, not taking his eyes off of me

Beta Christian didnโt think it was necessary to have me bound as we walked out of the dungeon and into the sunlit pack grounds, the only restraint being my anklet. At the very least he didnโt think I was going to leap away and rip everyone to shreds. I wouldnโt have been able to do that even if I wanted to. I also have more self-preservation than to take on an entire pack by myself. There were many reasons I wouldnโt have done itโฆ I just didnโt want innocent blood on my hands. Christian had taken me on a tour of the pack grounds: the school for young pups, the shopping areas and a monument to the previous Alpha and Luna; Alpha Jacksonโs parents. Finally, we arrived at the mess hall. It was a big building shaped like a Greek temple with pillars and triangles but solidified with wooden walls to keep out the rain. It looked like it could hold the whole pack at once which made it slightly intimidating. The New Moon pack never ate together because it was a dog-eat-dog pack, no one but fa

Elise's POVWe wasted no time hurrying to the dungeons, barely letting the warriorโs words sink in as we hurried into a run. I was a luna now, their luna, I didnโt have the privilege of time to be worried or scared because now I had people to protect.I barely felt myself breathe as I ran to the dungeons where Fredrick had last been held. We entrusted Christian with keeping the pack calm as we went to investigate.All the warriors were on guard and Jackson had given orders, โSecure the grounds and gather the trackers for footprints or anything we can use to find them!โWhen we saw the cells, they were still locked tightly, but the three of them had gone. There were no signs of struggle against the bars or the locks, no damage to the interior walls and the smell of wolfsbane was still thick in the cells.It was like theyโd just vanished.I might've believed that too if it weren't for multiple guards passed out besides the three cells, not a mark on their body but looking pale and uncom

Eliseโs POVMy heart was hammering as the rope was wrapped around our wrists and I couldnโt help but stare lovingly at my mate. He was looking at me the same way and I felt like crying.This was it. This was my family. This was my home.My first encounter with Jackson had been me rejecting a pack, and now I was accepting one.โHonoured guests,โ Clarissa started, โWe are gathered here today, not just to join two mates together for eternity, but to welcome Elise Clares into our pack as our Luna.โCheers erupted from the crowd and I found myself checkling, a happy tear escaping from my eye. I saw Annabelle and Christian yelling the loudest with Doctor Heath holding his mate close to him and kissing her at the top of her head.โDo you, Alpha Jakson of the Full Moon pack accept Elise Clares as your destined mate?โโI do,โ Jackson said without any hesitation as his grip on my hands tightened slightly, โFrom the moment I met you Elise, I felt something pulling me towards you. At first, I tho

Jackson's POVI took a deep breath feeling more nervous than Iโd ever felt in my entire life. I was wearing a dark blue suit with a white rose pinned to my breast pocket, my hair styled and slicked back with The Alphaโs Crown placed securely on my head and my face cleanly shaven for once. Christian had said if I didnโt shave it he was going to strap me to a chair and do it himself. As much as I trusted my Beta, I didn't exactly want slices on my chin for my wedding day.I ran a hand over the smooth skin and tried to remember the last time Iโd shaved it properly instead of trimmed, I'd always found the scruffy look made me look more intimidating and I was pretty sure Elise liked it. Oh well, I could grow it back. It seemed like I was trying to think of just about anything to pass the time as I waited fro Elise and tried not to fidget like an idiot.Christian was smirking next to me and I managed to subtly jab him in the ribs.I remembered making fun of him as he waited for Annabelle du
The Alpha's Rogue Mateย ย ย Chapter 105
Eliseโs POVFrom the second I woke up I was pampered by Clarissa and Annabelle who seemed to be more excited than me for the Luna Ceremony, which was saying a lot considering I was jittering with nerves and excitement. I never expected to accept this kind of arrangement so quickly but it just felt like the right thing to do. I wanted this ceremony to happen, I wanted to officially be Jacksonโs mate for the world to see and be the Luna of this amazing pack that I now called family.Annabelle shoved me into a large bath filled with so many bubbles, salts and essential oils that I didnโt think the smell of lilies and roses would ever leave my skin.Then they pulled me into a chair as they dried and styled my hair for what seemed like hours, not in a negative way because the two of them made me laugh as we took photos and told funny stories. They curled my hair so it fell like a wave against my back before they braided and tied it so I looked like a blonde Celtic princess.The makeup came
The Alpha's Rogue Mateย ย ย Chapter 104
Jackson's POVAfter we managed to get some kind of normalcy in the pack, there was still an air of stress and anxiety. We had multiple members of Fredrickโs pack join us and made sure we kept them far away from the dungeons and monitored them sufficiently just in case anyone tried to break Fredrick and the others out.โThe guards and warriors wonโt be too rough with them, will they?โ Elise asked the last time I saw her, clutching my arm as she watched some of the refugees being directed to their houses looking terrified.I shook my head in assurance, โNo, they have strict orders to treat them carefully unless they prove to be a threat, even then they are to take them down with as much force as is necessary and take them to the dungeon.โNo one had seemed to try to convince any of my guards to let them pass into the dungeon or even look that way. Instead, they looked somewhat relieved to know that their former alpha was imprisoned there. Nor did they try to fight my pack. Elise was rig
The Alpha's Rogue Mateย ย ย Chapter 103
Elise's POVIt was strange walking through the dungeon, free and in charge rather than as a prisoner. Iโd been held captive twice in two different dungeons and had to admit that I wasnโt a fan. Maybe that was because I hadnโt deserved it, but neither had the people who got experimented on at Fredrickโs hand. I felt no sympathy or empathy for the ex-alpha as we reached his cell.There were five guards posted in the dungeons, two to watch Fredrick, two to watch Melanie and one to watch Poppy. They all seemed serious and offered Jackson, Christian and me a bow of respect before immediately resuming their posture and attention.As we rounded to Fredrickโs cell, I had to stop and stare.He looked terrible, not the large, imposing alpha who made everyone tremble at just the mention of his name. His clothes were dirty and ripped, his hair was a greasy mess and he looked like a feral animal. I never thought it was possible to see him looking so pathetic and powerless.I noticed the large amou

Elise's POVJackson asked if I wanted to move into the Pack House before the Luna Ceremony and I accepted. But before I could do that, I wanted to go back to the house Iโd lived in when I first came to the pack. Before I could move into somewhere new, I wanted to say goodbye.I hadnโt lived in that house long, but it was the first thing that was mine and held a lot of memories like first connecting with Annabelle and Christian, the movie nights with Annabelle and just a general sense of safety and security.โI can go with you if you want,โ Jackson offered when I first brought up the idea. โNo, thank you,โ I said softly, smiling at him, โI donโt have much to moveโฆ Itโs just to say goodbye.โHe didnโt argue or protest, he simply gave me a kiss on the cheek before I headed off.As I walked through the pack, I couldnโt help but reminisce how everything was different now. The first time I was newly out of chains and was being escorted to my new home by Christian. Everyone looked at me war
The Alpha's Rogue Mateย ย ย Chapter 101
Elise's POV It was a question weโd all been dreading and I knew that it was partially my fault. If it wasnโt for me then Fredrick would be dead in the dirt and the packs would have one less thing to worry about. But he wasnโt dead and though I knew it was the right decision I also knew that a lot of the other wolves, both in the council room or not would find it difficult to understand.โWith all due respect, Luna, would you mind explaining further as to why we canโt kill him?โ Doctor Heath asked me, treating me like his luna already though we hadnโt had the ceremony yet. The others might have been saying it out of respect but I knew that Doctor Heath had meant it. He had been one of my first friends when I came here and he'd helped me through so much that I could never thank him enough for it.โI know itโs hard to believe, but a long time ago my family were blessed by The Moon Goddess.โI paused, waiting for some kind of negative reaction. Encountering The Moon Goddess was rare and
